The GHG Protocol is running two public consultations:

  • Scope 2
  • Electricity-sector consequential methods

The XRB's submission to the GHG Protocol was made on 22-Dec and is available here

30 November 2025

Extended to 31 January 2026

(originally 19 December 2025)

These documents have no legal status. 

The 'Comments due' column in the tables above usually shows the due date for comments to the XRB. However, when this is an international Board consultation, a later due date for submissions directly to that Board is usually published on the Consultation page itself.
